Months ago, I had a long talk about politics and contemporary trends, especially in the USA, with a woman whom I knew to have supported abortion when it was still forbidden in her country of origin, to have had one when it was still illegal, and to have voted for it. I explained my view that abortion was the elephant in the room, that it conditioned most important developments in modern politics, and I mentioned the recent polls that gave, for the first time, a pro-life majority in America, as well as the bizarre behaviour of Britain's Royal College of Midwives and Obstetricians. She eventually said: "I don't want to talk about abortion, it makes me sick." "Well," I answered with some surprise, "the thing is, we may yet live to see it outlawed." "Thank God for that," she said.

My Disk Cleanup utility is clearly malfunctioning. The amounts of space to be cleared it shows does not correspod to the sum of its parts, and it never seems to finish at all. I imagine I should get in touch with Microsoft, but their site is huge and I don't understand it - does anyone have any advice?
